Professor Davis here explained the geological process by which rivers cut their beds and formed their valleys...
Doctor Sargent then described the advantages of his process of measuring and testing the physical development of men, in that it rouses interest in methods of obtaining health and assists the advancement of science...
After the experiment was finished Professor Trowbridge explained that the same light can be produced with a common electric machine, but the plate must be exposed an hour when this machine is used. This shows how simple the process really is. The chief advantage of the large apparatus is that when it is used only a minute's exposure is necessary. The distinguishing character of the cathode rays is that they do not go between the two poles. They can be thrown any way. For instance, a small piece of aluminum can be used to throw them in any direction...
Coming now to the method of taking photographs, the lecturer showed the difference in the process. In taking a photograph with cathode rays a plain dry plate is used. There are the customary slides in the holder but there is no central opaque partition. The hand or object to be photographed is put on the slide and you get a photograph of the shade. As glass absorbs the rays a lens would be of no use and would prevent the taking of a photograph. Thus the common process of photographing is exactly reversed with the cathode rays. This was illustrated...
...toward England in another smaller portion, and a base desire to avoid the slightest financial loss even at the cost of the loss of national honor by yet another portion, we may be led into a course of action which will for the moment avoid trouble by the simple process of tame submission to wrong. If this is done it will surely invite a repetition of the wrong; and in the end the American people are certain to rent this. Make no mistake. When our people as a whole finally understand the question they will insist on a course...
